symplectic matrix
A real matrix is a symplectic matrixif , where is the transpose of , and is the orthogonal matrix
Here is the identity matrix and is the zero matrix.
Symplectic matrices satisfy the followingproperties:
- 1.
The determinant
of a symplectic matrix equals one.
- 2.
With standard matrix multiplication, symplectic matrices form a group denoted by .
- 3.
Suppose ,where are matrices. Then is symplectic if and only if
- 4.
If and are real matrices, then is unitary if and only if is symplectic.
